LONG JOHN at it's best. here is what WOUTER says about the shirt: “

The Long John platform stands for
authenticity so we love this old way

of sending messages. This bottle ‘enveloppe’
goes back centuries and

was used by a lot of people on the sea.

In the 16th century, the English navy used
message in a bottle to send ashore information about enemy positions. And
during World War I soldiers used bottles to send

last messages to their loved ones.

A great story from May 2005 is about
eighty-eight shipwrecked migrants at the coast of Costa Rica. They had placed a
S.O.S. message in a bottle and tied it to one of the long lines of a passing
fishing boat. They were all rescued!

The oldest message in a bottle was
travelling more than 98 years in the sea

and was picked-up by a Scottish fisherman in
2012.

We are proud to show our latest collab:
'Tribute to message in a bottle'.

This shirt symbolize our passion for
travelling, sailors and fishermen.

The collab tee is made with artist Wytse
Sterk (Go Sterk) and printed by Blendomatic.

We used a Lee Jeans shirt to share our
passion for original blue jeans.
